Astronaut
Gus Grissom uttered the term during the early "Mercury"
days of the US space program. It originated from a Yale graduate named
John Rawlings. The phrase is actually a bastardization of an earlier,
more vulgar and direct term, slang for doing something very wrong
with a dog. In the end, the term means to make a very bad, un-repairable,
misguided and serious mistake.

In
Roman times, Caesar committed a huge blunder when he “Crossed
the Rubicon” to battle Pompeii, which led to his demise via
stabbing, “Etu Brutus?”

How
about the phrase, “Ignoring the 10,000 pound gorilla in the
kitchen?”

We
know it means to ignore something so obvious and so destructive, but
because of political correctness, we continue to evade it.

For
over 40 years, as a world traveler, and one who witnessed China, Africa,
Mexico and India’s horrible problems firsthand, I awakened to
humanity’s “Seven Billion Pound Gorilla in the Kitchen”
long before most folks. So did Dr. John Tanton, Dr. Paul Ehrlich,
Dr. Albert Bartlett, Dr. Diana Hull, Dr. Jack Alpert, Dr. Edward O.
Wilson, Joanne Wideman, Marylou Tanton, Kathleene Parker and Dr. David
Pimentel.

Instead
of paying attention and making rational choices, Americans ignored
the “Gorilla” in the kitchen. Now, its ugliness grows
exponentially out of control.

I’ve
been writing and speaking about it ever since. I cannot begin to tell
you how terrified I am for our children and this country. We are “screwing”
future generations to lowered quality of life, standard of living
and environmental calamities making their presence known to us. If
you and I don’t stop it, if we fail to stop our US Congress
from its obsession to flood this country with another 100 million
immigrants, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will have “Screwed
the Pooch” for future generations.

For
the record, I get called names, shunned by radio and television because,
like Galileo, I am exposing a reality that the “power paradigm”
of the 21st century refuses to recognize—no matter how fragmented,
overloaded and fractured our country becomes. No matter how extreme
our weather and how much drought, our media won’t mention the
cause.

Even
after 9/11, you won’t hear Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer or Scott
Pelley or even Wolf Blitzer or Shepard Smith breathe a word that the
Boston Marathon bombers followed the Muslim faith which commands,
“Convert or kill all non-believers—especially the Jews.”

So
it continues with mass immigration. Damn it fellow American, we remain
on course to add 100 million immigrants into this country from 150
third world countries within 36 years. How much more do I have to
spell it out? We generate a mega-truck-load of trouble the size of
Lake Michigan.

Roy
Beck from www.NumbersUSA.org
produced another video to spell it out. Please watch it and share
it nationwide.

By
the year 2050, census estimates predict that our population will reach
438,000,000, or a doubling of the population of our top 35 most populated
cities. We could very well exceed ONE BILLION people at the turn of
the century. Behind China and India, the US is the third most populous
nation in the world. We are already seeing energy and water shortages
in some areas of the country. If you think we have problems now just
wait a few years.

“Immigrants
don’t travel by covered wagon anymore, the majority congregate
in our cities,” said Executive Director of www.CapsWeb.org
Jo Wideman in California. “The demands on our cities are overwhelming.
Anyone who lives in a large city can see the results of overpopulation
on their roads, schools, hospitals, courts and jails. While many reasons
are given for water shortages, electrical outages and the high price
of energy, the root cause (usually not stated) is simply overpopulation.

“Environmentalists
should be leading the fight to control immigration; instead, they
are sitting on the sidelines. Rising populations increase pollution
and deplete natural resources. Environmentalists are on a fool’s
errand if they believe we can be ‘green’ without reducing
immigration.

“Every
wave of immigration, legal or illegal, pushes black and other low-income
groups further down the economic ladder as immigrants will almost
always work for lower wages. Many immigrants fight their countries’
wars from our shores. This fragments communities along ethnic lines
and is not in our best interest. Every day state and local authorities
are forced to deal with a Babble of languages yet politicians are
too timid to make English our national language. Language is the glue
that binds a nation together.”

Recently:
When calling in to a talk radio program one illegal immigrant said,
“What a country! For fifty dollars you can buy documents that
let you get food stamps and money to make babies that become American
citizens. When the baby is older, this allows the rest of my relatives
to come and make their babies.” Unless we elect politicians
who have the courage to reduce immigration levels and cope with real
problems, the future is grim—there’s a one billion pound
gorilla waiting in the wings.

“Anyone
who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world
is either a madman or an economist.” -Economist Kenneth Boulding

I’m here to tell you, we screw the future for our children if
we continue in silence while the pro-growth, endless pro-immigration
forces pass endless amnesties like S744 and flood our country with
millions of people. Remember this, other countries exporting immigrants
into our country don’t give a crap. They continue to multiply
by 80 million net gain annually. They love us because we continue
importing their irresponsible birth rates.

I say, we are “screwing the pooch,” I mean you screw your
children’s future. If S744 passes, it will redefine, “Crossing
the Rubicon”; “Screw the Pooch” and create a whole
new understanding of the “One Billion Pound Gorilla in America’s
Kitchen.” Once it manifests, everybody’s pooch is screwed.
